Answer:

700.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves two similar triangles.

Both triangles are right triangles.

One has legs measuring 1 cm and 30 cm. We can find the hypotenuse by using the Pythagorean theorem.

(1 cm)^2 + (30 cm)^2 = c^2

c^2 = 901 cm^2

c = sqrt(901) cm

The second triangle has one leg with length 700 cm. This leg corresponds to the 30-cm leg in the other triangle. Since the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to find the hypotenuse of the second triangle.

(30 cm)/(700 cm) = [sqrt(901) cm]/x

3/70 = sqrt(901) cm/x

3x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm

x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm/3

x = 700.4 cm

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{1 \frac{2}{15}}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{1 \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{2}{3} }$

Convert the mixed number into improper fraction

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{10 \times 1 + 7}{10} \times \frac{2}{3}}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{17}{10} \times \frac{2}{3}}}$

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator, and multiply the denominator for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{17 \times 2}{10 \times 3}}}$
